An argument between a couple ended with a car chase and three shots fired in a Dickson street Wednesday night.

No one was injured in the altercation that took place on Spring Street, which later evolved into a police foot pursuit of the suspect in the Dickson neighborhood.

Fabian Vaughn, 24, was arrested Wednesday night after firing three shots at a van with his girlfriend inside at about 7:09 p.m., according to the police report.

The gunfire followed an argument earlier when Vaughn tried to make contact with the girlfriend while she was in the van, according to police. She didn’t reciprocate and Vaughn followed the van. A brief encounter occurred at the intersection of Highway 46 South and Thornton Drive in Dickson, said Dickson Police Chief Jeff Lewis.

“They leave there and turn down Spring Street, the vehicle (driven by Vaughn) passes the van and he starts to shoot at the van where (the girlfriend) was seated in the back,” Lewis said.

“We believe there were three shots fired. The witnesses there heard three shots,” Lewis said.

Officers were dispatched and upon arrival found a shell casing at the back of a van that was “shot out,” Lewis said. Three people were in the van.

During officer questioning, Cpl. Levi Davis became “involved in a foot pursuit with Vaughn in the neighborhood, according to Lewis. Davis caught up to Vaughn and was able to take him into custody.

A Nixle alert — a text and email messaging system used by Dickson emergency communications to reach citizens — went out countywide at 7:40 p.m. stating Spring Street in the area of Rickert and Olive streets was shut down for investigation. The area was reopened about an hour later.

Vaughn was arrested on charges of criminal attempt, reckless endangerment, and aggravated domestic assault. He is currently in the Dickson County Jail on a $40,000 bond.
